A new experimental collaboration plugin, allowing users to collaboratively work on the same document in real-time. There are currently 3 communication backends supported: an XMPP based one (only available on Unix systems, and it could use some love), a pure TCP/IP based one and one that integrates with the One Laptop Per Child Sugar interface. Please note that we consider this collaboration feature experimental, as it hasn't seen a lot of testing outside the One Laptop Per Child deployments. Also, we are not sure yet that we won't need to make slight protocol changes to accommodate some new features. This means that the current version of the plugin might not be able to communicate with future versions of the plugin. Finally, this feature is not yet available on Windows. It will be available in v2.6.1 for that platform.

A massive amount of work on all of our popular import and export filters, most notably the OpenDocument filter

The addition of a new experimental OpenXML import filter

Support for native Windows Vista menus

Various drag & drop and clipboard handling improvements

Allow dragging and dropping images in and out of AbiWord (Unix platforms)

Fast image previews in the Image dialog, even for huge images (Unix platforms)

Various toolbar improvements, most notably the improvements to make them work better on small screens (Unix platforms)

Lots of updates to our translations

Lots of small fixes in our GTK+ frontend, such as fixing those pesky

tooltips that just wouldn't go away (Unix platforms)

Automatic font substitution using fontconfig when a specific font is

not available (Unix platforms)

Improved support for running AbiWord in non-UI mode (sometimes also referred to as "server" mode, as offered by the AbiCommand plugin); most notably AbiWord no longer requires an X server on Unix systems in non-UI mode.

Improved command line handling, allowing input from standard input, and output to be directed to standard output.
